Bootcamp 531 - Tweaking the Eee PC
,----[ Quote ]
| The advantages of Linux are apparent when you switch it on, there's no delay
| waiting for the hard drive to spin up and it is usually ready to use in
| around 30 - 40 seconds. Linux stability is legendary; it is very secure and
| virtually immune to viruses and malware (though it comes with a virus
| scanner, just in case...). Easy Mode, whilst not particularly appealing for
| grown-ups, is very easy to use and the Wi-Fi system is an absolute delight,
| almost always managing a fast, fuss-free connection whenever you are in range
| of a hotspot or access point.

| RARELY have a company shaken up the world of technology more than Asus did
| with their Eee 701 notebook PC a year ago.

|
| My review unit came with Windows XP - the 701s ran on a customised Xandros
| Linux operating system, still an option for the new model and the 901,
| launching here on July 1.
|
| I prefer the Linux OS myself - it runs faster on the Eee's 900Mhz Celeron
| processor, but the 1024MB of RAM certainly help push things along nicely.

Cheap Linux PCs Scare Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| As I sit here looking at my Zonbu(s) (a mini and the notebook), I cannot help
| but feel overwhelming dismay over all the progress made with "ready-to-go"
| Linux solutions like the Eee, Cloudbook and of course, the OLPC project. My
| concern is not in regard to the projects themselves, but it’s where Microsoft
| is trying to edge their way into something that Linux was working magic with
| first.
|
| First, we hear about XP coming to the Eee. Then as if a bad omen has come to
| pass after OLPC and Intel have their falling out, Microsoft is here to pickup
| on the down and out group in hopes of cashing in with installing Windows XP
| on the specialized notebook.

Feeling the heat at Microsoft

| If I ask you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?
|
| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
| to go with that.
